dreaming of the sun

after the snow fall the other day (again.. my god will it please stop being cold?) i began to think of warm weather again. i pulled out this bikini looks a month ago or so and have been dreaming of them since. i've been scared to wear a high-waisted bikini before because of strange tan lines, but am actually really excited to maybe have my first one this year. the first and third are from urban outfitters, the middle one is from modcloth.com.

över min döda kropp

i ventured into Rock Paper Scissors in Amsterdam today (on the Oude Leliestraat) and was ecstatic to see that a Kostym jacket that i had my eye on since the summer was on sale 50% off. i always love going into this store, not only for the strong scandanavian brands that they keep in stock, but also the wide selection of clothing styles. of course i immediately grabbed this jacket (pictured about at the cheap monday show aw09) and am now the proud owner of it. can't wait to put on, with an emily jane bow brooch on it of course x

week-end.

our love was lost
but now we found it.
temper trap.

Ten thousand words swarm around my head

Ten million more in books written beneath my bed
I wrote or read them all when searching in the swarms
Still can't find out how to hold my hands


been listening to the avett brothers on a non-stop basis. they have the most beautiful voices and their lyrics are like magic. i have currently hit a minor speed bump and they are my cure. excited to see them play in london and amsterdam on their first tour overseas.

back from paris yesterday with a bucket full of photos and a handful of new friends. had a fabulous time and learned a lot about the pret a porter tradeshow.

friday xiii

come on baby, you got something to lose
i'll buy you new clothes, i'll buy you new shoes
all kinds of things you really couldn't use

but all i need is you.

paris dans la matinée

tomorrow morning i am catching a train to paris with my fellow classmates. we're attending the pret a porter trade show on tuesday, and exploring the city the rest of the time. excited to travel, make new friends, take photographs and soak up the paris-je ne sais quoi with multiple glasses of wine and french cider.
